Rex Reed Observer Sep 15, 2005
Israeli films in general constitute dissenting voices against the established order by championing individual aspirations. Still, Mr. Cedar's own background makes him an unusual candidate for the role of dissenter. Go to Full Review
Stephen Holden New York Times Sep 9, 2005
2.5/5
Beyond casting a jaundiced eye at the community's oppressive communalism, Campfire neither endorses nor opposes the settler movement that since 1981 has become an incendiary issue in Israel. Go to Full Review
Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News Sep 9, 2005
2.5/4

Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Feb 21, 2008

Eric Monder Film Journal International Jan 5, 2007

Marta Barber Miami Herald Sep 23, 2005
3.5/4
